Goals of Advertising

1. Getting Attention One short-term goal and objective in advertising is getting people's attention. Use highly readable print in your ads. Color, diagrams and pictures can also attract the attention of users, particularly if they are highly relevant. One of the best ways to attract attention in print advertising is to use a strong headline. Make a statement that attracts the right type of reader, and include at least one benefit in the heading to pull the reader into the ad Use sounds and jingles to attract attention in your radio and television ads.

2. Prompting Immediate Action Your print and other types of advertising must also prompt people to act immediately. Include a coupon in your ad to get people to try your product at the store. Include a deadline on your coupon so people know the offer is only good for a short time period. Offer a free trial of your product, or provide something free along with the product. Offer multiple products for the price of one. Another strategy is to state that you have a limited supply of products available.

3. Replacing Lost Customers Small companies use advertising to replace lost customers. Your customers may switch brands, move away, or die, which is why advertising on a continuous basis is imperative. Look for new ways to advertise, including social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.

4. Building Sales and Profits The key to building sales and profits is to gradually increase your advertising over time. Many small companies budget their advertising by allocating a certain percentage of sales toward it

5. Building Brand Awareness Small companies also advertise to build brand awareness, which is when people know a particular brand is yours. Brand awareness is usually calculated as a percentage. For example, if 1,000 people out of 10,000 in a market can identify your brand, your brand awareness is 10 percent. Your primary objective in building brand awareness is to make people think of your brand first when they are ready to purchase.

What to include in your Advertisement Use clear fonts Positive and bight primary colours Positive pictures “Limited time offer” coupons Consider using twitter, facebook, brochures, flyers, an ad in a magazine Think: What can I include in my advertisement to make people remember my company and my product?
